Matt Drudge took to Twitter to deliver an ongoing tirade against Republicans’ eagerness to deliver a fast-track trade bill to President Obama’s desk. The bill’s details have not been made public — which hasn’t stopped Republicans from surrendering Congress’s power to make amendments to a president’s future trade deals.
Should a Republican presidential candidate lose the 2016 general election, the Trade Promotion Authority bill could be to blame. Keeping the bill’s details from voters was “clearly treason,” Drudge tweeted...

If TPP is only a free trade treaty, why does it have to be a secret?
Could it be that it is a Trojan Horse? Obama would never do that... /s

How can this not be leaked, by ANYONE? Wikileaks exposed classified material up the wazoo, to make us look bad. Isn’t there anyone in the Congress willing to protect us by leaking this out to be exposed?
And why reward obama with this power after he assumed the powers of the congress!
“And why reward obama with this power after he assumed the powers of the congress!”
The bill says all trade agreements have to be approved by congress - Obama can’t do it on his own.
Can someone, anyone, please show in definitive terms why the TPP is treasonous?
BEFORE Boehner became Speaker, he promised that Republicans would use the power of the purse to end Obamacare if they took the House.
What a phony!
Is there also gun control on this bill?
I haven’t looked at the GOA website yet but Gun Owners of America are smart and usually link some of these bills to the bigger picture. Like amnesty and anti-gun-voter-registration.
Can they limit ammo or guns across the pacific?
With the neocons and Obama pissing off Russia they already dried up aspects of that supply.
I don’t trust anything obummer wants; especially if it’s kept secret before passage.
It must be really bad if they insist on keeping it a secret. I guess they figure we aren’t smart enough to make up our own minds about what is best for us.
Why don’t the Conservatives write their own Top Secret Trade Bill ... and like the President’s Bill ..... nobody is allowed to read it ..... Then make sure the bill includes the removal of the President and all traitorous Republicans from power as it’s main corner stone .... then pass it unanimously saying it will definitely improve the economy and bring back jobs to the US?
He’s right.
They want to make him messiah. These people are completely stupid, loving their messiahstupid
It is a fast tracking rubber stamping power. It is all about trade “relationship” which Obama will spin as interdependency CRUSHING ANYONE daring to take control of their own lives and counry without the say so of someone else.
It is not a contract to unit but to divide, namely, no divorce allowed, gay marriage permant sodomy mandated.
1. And Obama can be trusted?
2. Even if he does go to congress, Obama only has to cobble up a bare majority for approval. How easy is that? Well, for this last victory "conservative" Cruz was part of a thin majority.
Americans have gotten so used to asking the government to do things for us that we now accept whenever they claim they are doing us some good. Of course it should be published for all to see. Weird that there is so little outcry imo.
But is this secret bill all that different from any other bill that relies on decisions from a cabinet secretary or written regulation by an agency chief? They pass almost all laws never knowing what the heck will come of it until some unelected bureaucrats decide how to regulate it and even then there is usually broad discretion on when and against whom to enforce. Its a monstrously unrestrained beast, the Federal Government. Not of and by and for the people - it is for itself, mainly.
I agree with you. Why give this commie anything now.?
THE FAR LEFT hates TPP as much as the right does. Probably half of the thinking voters in the US. The republicans in congress only delayed it to give themselves time to line up bribes for themselves.
It should long ago been recognized the two party system as it has evolved under Oboma/McConnell/bonehead is a distinction without a difference.
